    Slightly confused about licensing

    I've read the licensing faq over and over again and i keep coming back to the "license a file" phrase. What if i have multiple files/tunes for my car?
    Is the license being added to the actual file or the vin number?

    You are licensing the s/n embedded in the PCM. It shows up as VCM ID: xxxx.., not your file and not your VIN.

    Nah, that'd be too simple. Then the moderators would have nothing to do.

    Most newbie do not under what a serial number in the calibration is, they only understand tune file, VIN and make/model. Hence why they simplified it.
